Taxation should be based on assets not income because earning money doesn't affect anyone not involved in a detrimental way, although it may mean that they have lost a customer. Only property can affect others since we exclude people from that which belongs to us.
If someone owes the rest of Society it is because of something that they have done against others, not something that was engaged in voluntarily.
The poor might be owed money by those who have considerable property wealth, but not by those whose earnings are great.
The poor are owed access to resources.
